Alimony in Lakewood: how it is calculated
Alimony in Lakewood follows Colorado law, not a local rule — the same statute applies whether the case is filed in Jefferson County or anywhere else in the state. Here is what that formula produces, and where a Lakewood case is actually heard.
Where a Lakewood case goes
A divorce filed in Lakewood is heard by the Colorado court for Jefferson County. The judge applies the state statute below; the county sets the filing procedure, not the amount. Lakewood has about 156,868 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Lakewood have its own rule?
No. C.R.S. § 14-10-114 applies across Colorado, so a case from Lakewood is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
C.R.S. § 14-10-114 — Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 14-10-114 (spousal maintenance — advisory guidelines).
